I want to thank everyone for all the help so far! Massive massive thanks! yeah I've never owned the OnePlus phone whatsoever like most Americans haven't unless you've gone unlocked from the previous phones of course! I was going to get a pixel 3 XL, but as much of a googler as I am, Google has never been able to produce beautiful looking hardware unfortunately
yes, I know that the cameras on Pixel phones are the best in the industry there's no arguing that, but that notch is freaking ugly as hell! I don't care how many selfie cameras are on the front haha. the teardrop notch on the oneplus6t is beautiful looking as far as nachos to go very minimal and the OS tweaks from oxygen OS look great! And everyone's right everything looks light, speedy and just smooth as butter! the reason I asked about Google apps of course is because I'm used to core Google applications. The fact that I can set him as default is great. as far as the you I have a Google photos, I've just grown accustomed to it. I'm not opposed to trying something else but yeah the cloud backup is obviously essential. I mean as far as the Galaxy S8 is concerned, I don't hate on any phone, but for I geek like myself, Galaxy phones that are marketed like iPhones unfortunately. They don't get speedy updates as everyone here knows which is why I can't wait to leave it and get the 6t! I do believe that the super AMOLED screen in the camera on the Galaxy S8 is good, but it's not a necessity for me to have a great looking screen my eyes probably can't tell the difference between that and what the 6t has same thing as a camera. I care much more about the OS!
